Looking at my repository, I've got /RPMS/perl-URPM-0.50-6mdk.ppc.rpm.  A
full listing looks like it's up-to-date with perl5.8.  (it was built Jul
26).  I'm using urpmi regularly myself.

Everything I've built here should be up on the mirrors by now, I would
think. That file is definitely on the mirror source in Paris. At the
moment, nothing new for main is coming down the pipe except libvorbis I
uploaded today. I'm actually running rebuild on contribs right now.

Aside from everything complaining about a lacking ld-linux.so.2 (which
really exists), things seem to be running here OK, with networking,
X/kde3, sound, compiler etc. I haven't really spent much time with gnome2,
and I know there are a few gnome related packages in my no-build (ie
failed) list. That's not to say it's all perfect, but it's functional
enough that I'm using it as a build platform. 

If it's useful, I've posted a list of the local RPMs to my web space:
